- TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS (PVIN = VIN = 12 V) The electrical characteristic data has been developed from actual products tested at 25°C. This data is considered typical for the converter. Applies to , , and . The temperature derating curves represent the conditions at which internal components are at or below the manufacturer's maximum operating temperatures. Derating limits apply to devices soldered directly to a 100 mm × 100 mm six-layer PCB with 1 oz. copper. Applies to , , and .

Layout Considerations
To achieve optimal electrical and thermal performance, an optimized PCB layout is required. Figure 28 thru
Figure 33, shows a typical PCB layout. Some considerations for an optimized layout are:
• Use large copper areas for power planes (PVIN, VOUT, and PGND) to minimize conduction loss and thermal
stress.
• Place ceramic input and output capacitors close to the device pins to minimize high frequency noise.
• Locate additional output capacitors between the ceramic capacitor and the load.
• Keep AGND and PGND separate from one another. AGND should only be used as the return for R
SET
.
• Place R

as close as possible to their respective pins.
• Use multiple vias to connect the power planes to internal layers.
